Strange question :wha:

I've got an AG recipe which is similar to (but probably better than) Speckled Hen.
I could probably find out about Spitfire as I know a Shepherd.

I don't brew l*g*r but there is a forum member who brews C*rl*ng :sick:

 

[tom_kent]

the beater is for the bother in law and the snarling is for the farther in law. i havent brewed anything before so i think my best bet would be to have my first stab at in by kit form (alot less i can mess up :lol: ) i rely rely rely wanna do a propper brew from 100% scratch :grin: :clap: it would be like my child lol is it hard? (to get right)

Go on then Moley give us the recipie for speckled hen ?:pray:.

 

[Moley]

Go on then Moley, give us the recipe for Speckled Hen ?

It's in Wheeler's “British Real Ale” book.
Pale, crystal and black malts, a bit of sugar, Challenger and Goldings. Dead easy :thumb:

Tom start with Wherry kit from wilkos can't go wrong with that, if you oxygenate .

No, as far as i know there isnt. Your best bet is as prolix says, get your self a Wherry kit. Easy to make as you do not need to add any sugar to it.
Then once you have a couple of three kit brews under your belt, i would suggest moving on to extract or even AG brewing.

 

[tom_kent]

Can someone give me the out lines or brewing ag pls. As I said I would rely like to have a go at it :-) what kit do I need and how hard is it to get right? Where can a source hops from? I live in Kent so tbh it should be easy but I can't say I have ever seen em just growing country lol if I went to the hop farm do u think they would hand some over lol.

Look under the Brewing ‘How To’ Guides.

For example: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=493

For hops and grain, click on the banner sponsors, I get most of mine from Barley Bottom.
